Scott Celani
The voice is an instrument.
For New York-based singer/songwriter Scott Celani, the voice can have as much emotional force as a scorching guitar solo or the thunderous clap of drums. Celani’s powerful voice is tuned to the emotional wavelengths of the heart, whether it’s an expression of sheer joy or a feeling of sadness. Unlike other artists in the singer/songwriter genre, Celani is versatile enough to convey his emotions through both subtly beautiful acoustic rock and a larger electric sound.
Having vigorously kicked off his solo project in early 2002, Scott Celani and his supporting players are hitting venues all over the Eastern U.S. At a typical show, audience members are treated to Celani's well-crafted, melodic pop songs. Celani presents his music with a full band or in acoustic format. Either way, Celani offers a powerhouse of guitar, rhythm and melody.
Throughout his music career, Scott has performed live all over the U.S. and Canada, and his music has been played or is being played on radio stations all over North America. Scott has shared the stage with the likes of Our Lady Peace, Jimmy Eat World, Vertical Horizon, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Hootie & The Blowfish, Eddie Money, Tom Cochrane, The Marshall Tucker Band, Sam Roberts, The Clarks, Sarah Slean and Pilate.
For his latest release, "Saturday", Celani has teamed up once again with Toronto record producer Brent Bodrug of The B-Group Music (Alanis Morissette, Oscar Peterson, Jacksoul, Carlos Morgan). Celani and Bodrug also worked together on Scott’s debut solo effort, “Them Apples”. “Them Apples” was released in September 2002 to a packed of house of nearly 600 people in Buffalo. Scott spent 2003 touring the Eastern U.S. in support of it.
In addition to receiving rave reviews, Celani’s song “Where Did You Come From?” (track #2 off “Them Apples”) was added to the play-lists of over 30 commercial radio stations nationwide in 2003, with some stations spinning the song as much as 40 times per week. Plus, Celani was honored in 2003 with the Western New York People’s Choice Award for Best Solo Acoustic Artist.
With “Saturday”, Celani & Bodrug echo some of the slick and powerful rock elements of “Them Apples”, but at the same time have taken a fresh approach to the new songs. Having co-written most of the songs, Celani & Bodrug approached “Saturday” with no agenda, but simply a focus on great songs and a great vibe.
Critics have greeted “Saturday” with rave reviews, referring to it as “nothing but energetic bursts of shining rock-pop that will make you smile”, and declaring that “Celani has found the magic.” The CD’s title track is currently being added to commercial radio stations nationwide. Celani is currently touring the Eastern U.S. in support of the new release. Celani & Bodrug have already started working on Scott’s third release, due out in early 2006.
